Abstract | ||||
Field experiments were carried out at the experimental farm of the Water Studies and Research Complex (WSRC), Station, National Water Research Center, Toshka – Abu simbel City, Egypt during the two growing seasons of 2011 and 2012 to assess the effect of water stress [25% , 50% and 75% of available soil moisture depletion] on water consumptive use (ETa) of sesame (Giza - 32 ,variety) as well as yield and yield component under sprinkler irrigation system. Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) was estimated by some ET formulas to compare them with the actual evapotranspiration (ETa). The crop coefficient (Kc), plant characteristics and the water application efficiency (WAE) were measured. | ||||
